Touch-Back Function

The QuattroPod's touch-back function allows you to wirelessly send multi-touch gestures (up to 10 fingers) from a touchscreen-enabled display back to your device.

When switching to another participant, the touch-back functionality is also available to them. This enables interactivity and creativity from multiple participants on a single screen.

The touch-back function is only supported during 1:1 screen transmission.
